Looking for Self Storage in Northeast Arlington Texas?
Determining how much space you need to store your belongings depends on a number of factors, including:
- What types of items are you storing (furniture, boxes, business inventory)?
- How much will you be storing?
- Do you plan to access the items or simply store them until they can be relocated at another time?
- How long will you store your items?
After you answer these questions, you can then move to looking at the storage unit options you have based on your square footage needs. The following table shows you about how large each unit is, and what you can store in each unit. Some people are more visual than others and can visualize in their minds what will fit in a space. Others can use a simple tape grid on the floor to visualize how much space they will need.
To create a visual model of the size of a unit, simply take painter’s tape (the blue tape) and measure off a space in your home or in our garage to ‘see’ the dimensions of the unit you are thinking about renting. Our units are X feet tall, so by taping off a space the size you want to rent, you can then more easily envision what size ‘box’ you are working with for your self storage unit.
If you plan to access items, be sure to leave enough space for an aisle within the unit so you can easily navigate the unit.
